[UK-CONTEST] 80m CC last night Apologies.

[Mark Marsden]

Hi Dave

I was one of the stations trying to work you last night when your PC
went all ditty. Anyway, we did QSO near the end. 

This was my first 80mCC, with a new inverted-v dipole, all S&P, just
45Q. I enjoyed it a lot, looking forward to the SSB leg next week.

Apologies to G3PHO and others for the contact problems last night.  My
PC decided to stop working on a couple of occasions, and the keyer would
only send dots, then nothing at all. After 15 seconds or so it all came
back.  The only thing I did before the contest was disconnect my router.
It may have been some program that was trying to connect to the web for
an update and caused the CPU to go to 100% usage.I would appreciate any
information which could point to the offending program. It was fine in
ARRL with the router running.
I'm using N1MM and K1el keyer all connected on to a RS232 board in the
PC.
